High Frequency Unit
• Provides High Voltage Electric Energy With Very
high Frequency – 10000 Cycles / Sec.
When M/c On
• Power source gets energized
• Pump starts pumping cooling water to torch
When Pedal Switch Pressed with tungsten rod held close to BM within 3mm
• Solenoid valve opens, Argon starts flowing
• After 5 seconds of pre-purging, high Frequency current jumps from tungsten
rod generating sparks
• Immediately welding current makes arc across tungsten rod and work
through the HF sparks.
• High frequency gets cut off from the system when welding arc is initiated and
welding is started.
When Pedal Released without lifting the torch
1 Current gets cut off, Arc extinguishes, Gas flow continues as post purging.
2 Gas flow remains for few more seconds before it stops.
3 Torch to be lifted only after post purging stops

Lack Of Fusion
Porosity . .
Cause Remedy
1) Excess Current 1) Reduce the Current
2) Excess Voltage 2) Reduce Arc length
3) Improper Torch angle 3) Train & Qualify the Welder

Excess Penetration*
Cause Remedy
1)Excess root opening 1) Reduce root gap
2) Excess Current 2) Reduce Current
3) Inadequate root face 3) Increase Root face
4) Excess Weaving 4) Train Welder
5) Wrong Direction Of Arc 5) Train Welder
